According to the preferred embodiment, a self-biased phase-locked loop is provided that overcomes the limitations of the prior art bias methods and apparatus. In general, a self-biased current controlled semiconductor device, typically a current controlled oscillator, is self biased by the use of a first feedback path, typically provided by a phase-locked loop, where the feedback path provides a control current for controlling the current controlled device. A second feedback path, typically a pair current mirrors, serves as a bias loop having unity gain. The bias loop provides a bias current that is responsive to the control current. This device has the advantage of being self biasing, thus no other biasing circuitry is required.
